brmlab existence involves some mundane adminsitrativa tasks, mainly tracking of membership fees and donations. So far, this is done manually and there result is a lot of laborous work and a lot of chaos.

Therefore, some simple software tool would do us a lot of good. It should:

Track members database - including personal, payment and access information

Status and Roadmap

[TODO] Where do we deploy it? brmko? Or somewhere “safe” outside of brmlab?

[TODO] SQL schema design; for starters, the information currently in membership roster

[TODO] Simple web interface for querying and modifying the database

Include accounting information in the database

[TODO] Extend SQL schema to track incomes from members (or otherwise)

[TODO] Gateway Fio e-mail notifications to the database

[TODO] Automatic “payment due” reminders

[TODO] Automatic donation tax receipt generator

[TODO] Simple “project financial balance” tool

[not finished] LDAP interface for UNIX authentication

slapd partialy configured on data.brm. scheme improvements needed

[TODO] Possibly also some expense tracking and some-such
